Default To paint or not to paint...

What's going on fellow 2IS owners. I need some advice. Do you guys think I should paint the roof spoiler or keep it as is? Help a brother out!

That's what I was thinking. Do you guys think I can do it myself with some paint from a hobby shop? Or should I take it to a shop and pay them?

vinyl wrap it, less that 20-30 bucks to do it your self, and if you dont like it after driving around with it like that, take the vinyl off, a non permenant solution to a problem your not to sure about making
